Gabs is a small Go library for parsing, creating, and editing dynamic or unknown JSON structures. It wraps map[string]interface{} hierarchies from encoding/json with convenient path-based navigation and mutation helpers.

Use cases

• parse json with unknown structure in go
• search nested json by path
• build json objects programmatically in go
• edit dynamic json payloads
• iterate json arrays and objects
• query json with json pointer

When to choose

• you need to work with JSON whose schema is unknown at compile time
• you want simple path-based access to nested JSON values in Go
• you need to construct nested JSON without verbose map literals

When to avoid

• your JSON structures are well-defined and can be modeled with typed structs
• you need high-performance streaming or schema-validated JSON processing
• you need JSONPath or advanced query features beyond simple path lookup
